Sandy Lew-Hailer OWNER OF SANDYLEW, WOMEN'S FASHION BOUTIQUE

“The Waterfall Garden Park in Pioneer Square is a perfect spot for morning coffee.”

Q: How would you describe Seattle style?

A: It's evolving into a uniquely sophisticated look. We are such a wonderfully eclectic population our collective style reflects this.

Q: Where are some of your favorite places to shop?

A: Clementines for unique shoes; Momo for fun gifts; Paper Hammer for the best cards; and Silberman & Brown in Seattle and the Lost Quill on Bainbridge Island for my absolute passion for fountain pens!

Q: Where would you suggest going on a rainy day?

A: The Seattle Art Museum is always a good idea, rain or shine, or hop on the Bainbridge ferry with some takeout or just munch the popcorn they serve on the ferry.

COURTESY SANDYLEW

Q: What is your favorite neighborhood to explore and why?

A: First Avenue. While this is the location of my little shop, it's also my favorite neighborhood.

The Seattle Art Museum, Pike Place Market, and lots of small, indepen-

dently owned shops and restaurants make this a unique, fun place.

Q: What are a few underthe-radar places in Seattle you'd recommend to firsttime visitors?

A: The Waterfall Garden Park in Pioneer Square is a perfect spot for morning coffee—always clean, always beautiful. The seasons change right before your eyes in this little urban oasis; the dappled light under the japanese maples is sometimes surreal. The Wing Luke Museum is a visual and informative treasure about the rich history and ongoing story of the remarkably diverse Asian-American experience in the Pacific Northwest. (I have to admit I also love the gift shop there !)

BEST TIP Try Go Poke, the new poke restaurant right near the Wing Luke. The Hawaiian brothers that opened this place do a great job!

BLANKET STATEMENT Eighth Generation's designs make a difference.

COURTESY EIGHTH GENERATION; DAYBREAK STAR

NATIVE AMERICAN PATTERNS in fashion and design have been

trending for several years all over the country, but they’re often co-opted and created by designers and brands with no connection to tribal artistry and custom.

Seattle-based artist Louis Gong, who was raised in the Nooksack tribal community, is doing his part to change that with his Eighth Generation collection of clothing, home goods and accessories. As the brand’s tagline, “inspired Natives, not Native-inspired,” suggests, its designs are created by artists of tribal ancestry, and they’re about more than just looking stylish—they reflect the heritage and identity of the indigineous people.

Eighth Generation’s stunning wool blankets are not only the first to be designed and produced by a Native-owned company, they’re also a great way to keep cozy. Stop by the Pike Place Market shop and gallery to learn more and snag a unique souvenir or holiday gift. 93 Pike St., Ste. 103, 206.430.6233, eigthgeneration.com

Head to the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center (unitedindians. org) in Discovery Park on 11/18 to meet Native artisans, shop for handmade gifts, and enjoy baked salmon and Indian tacos.

Starting on National Native American Heritage Day (11/24), the weekendlong Duwamish Native Holiday Gift Fair comes to the Duwamish Longhouse (duwamishtribe. org), a traditional Puget Salishstyle cedar building used for cultural and educational events.

Seattle for Music Lovers Our neighborhood guide to the city's can't-miss venues, sights and shops.

SEATTLE IS THE BIRTHPLACE of the electric guitar, the grunge scene and many icons of jazz, hip-hop, rock and alternative music. Follow our tour to learn about the people and places that make the city a destination for music lovers.

CAPITOL HILL One of Seattle's hippest neighborhoods, "the Hill" is often recognized as the main location of the grunge-era flick Singles, and it's still a mecca for alternative music lovers today, thanks to venues like Neumos (925 E Pike St., neumos.com) and Chop Suey (1325 E Madison St., chopsuey.com), and "Black Sun," the Isamu Noguchi sculpture at Volunteer Park that inspired Soundgarden's biggest hit. A statue of Seattle native Jimi Hendrix at the corner of Broadway and Pine is a perfect photo opp for classic rock fans.

CENTRAL DISTRICT

©GRADY TYREE/EAST STREET RECORDS; KARI TAYLOR/KEXP; COURTESY MOPOP

Jimi Hendrix, Quincy Jones and Sir Mix-aLot all grew up in this once-predominately African-American neighborhood, which was the epicenter of Seattle’s jazz scene for the first half of the 20th century, and later funk and soul music. The landmark Washington Hall (153 14th Ave., washingtonhall. org), built in 1908, was central to the area’s rich history, welcoming those local names as well as Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday and other legends to its stage. Recently restored to its former glory, it once again serves as a place to showcase the arts.

DOWNTOWN AND BELLTOWN The heart of the city offers live music venues. For classical buffs, there's Benaroya Hall (200 University St., seattlesymphony. org) the home of the acclaimed Seattle Symphony, and for jazz fanatics, Dimitriou's Jazz Alley (2033 Sixth Ave., jazzalley.com) and Tula's (2214 Second Ave., tulas.com) are musts. Showbox (1426 First Ave., showboxpresents.com), Paramount Theater (911 Pine St., stgpresents.org) and The Crocodile (2200 Second Ave., thecrocodile.com) draw some of the hottest acts in the alternative, rock and hip-hop worlds.

QUEEN ANNE Originally staffed by University of Washington students when it launched in 1971, KEXP-FM (472 First Ave. N., kexp.org) has become one of the country’s best-known

public radio stations, thanks to its eclectic programming and strong record in discovering new musicians. In 2016, KEXP moved into its new home in Seattle Center. The station’s Gathering Place features a stage for free, all-ages in-studio shows, comfy seating, the world’s first La Marzocco Café and a window into the DJ booth—so you can sip while they spin. It also offers free behind-the scenes tours at 2 p.m. every day.

Originally launched as the Experience Music Project, the Museum of Pop Culture a.k.a. MoPOP (325 Fifth Ave. N, mopop.org) continues to draw music fanatics with exhibits like “Guitar Gallery: The Quest for Volume,” a showcase of axes used by masters including Bo Diddly, Chuck Berry, Eddie Van Halen and Kurt Cobain, “Wild Blue Angel: Hendrix Abroad, 1966-1970,” an immersive look into the superstar’s life on the road, and “Bowie by Mick Rock,” a collection of 65 photos of the legendary singer and songwriter, presented with rare performance footage and oral history interviews.

WEST SEATTLE Anchoring the northwest corner of California Avenue and Alaska Street since 1989, Easy Street Records & Café (4559 California Ave. SW, easystreetonline.com) has been named one of the best record stores in the country by Rolling Stone and Time. It’s easy to see why: In addition to an almost overwhelming selection of new and used records from every genre, the shop boasts an awesome café where you can enjoy breakfast and lunch diner classics, and hosts regular in-store performances by up-and-coming local musicians and already famous acts alike. Over the years, Lou Reed, Steve Earle, Lana Del Ray, Pearl Jam, Macklemore, Brandi Carlile and hundreds more have played these free, all-ages shows.

Those who love playing music as much as listening to it, should head a few doors down to Thunder Road Guitars (4736 California Ave. SW, thunderroadguitars.com) to geek out over the amazing display of rare and vintage Gibsons, Fenders and more.

Cozy Up To Winter HYGGE, A DANISH CONCEPT that's all about enjoying coziness and small pleasures, has become a big trend in the last few years, but it's nothing new for Seattleites. Here's how we do it: 1. FIND A FIREPLACE There’s something primally comforting about sitting by a fire. It’s more than just warmth; it’s the flickering light, crackling sounds and of course, the scent. One of the best in town is in the Fireside Room at the Hotel Sorrento (900 Madison St., hotelsorrento.com) a vintage-luxe lounge with cozy seating, great cocktails and live music on weekends. We also love the waterfront fire pit at Chef Josh Henderson’s trendy Westward (2501 N Northlake Way, westwardseattle.com). Pull up an Adirondack chair, order a few small plates and spend a magical hour watching the boats on Lake Union.

26

WHE RE I N OV E M B E R 2017

2. BUNDLE UP Nothing feels better at the end of a dark, drizzly day than getting back to your warm home (or hotel room!) and changing into something comfy and dry. We love the “One Der Suit” from Seattle-based Kavu (downtown and Ballard locations, kavu. com), a hooded union suit made of French terry in a variety of fun prints, such as colorful fishing flies.

3. CURL UP WITH A GOOD BOOK Seattle consistently tops the list of the country’s most well-read cities, and perhaps much of that is due to the Capitol Hill booklovers’ paradise, Elliott Bay Book Company (1521 10th Ave., elliottbaybook.com. The creaky wood floors, soft leather armchairs and tucked-away café make browsing for your next read a pleasure. Don’t miss the section devoted to local history, travel and

There's something comforting about a fire... it's the warmth, the flickering light, crackling sounds and scent.

©JAYNE TRUESDELL/HOT CAKES; COURTESY STORYVILLE COFFEE; ELLIOTT BAY BOOK COMPANY

authors, such as Sherman Alexie, Timothy Egan and Maria Semple.

4. SEEK COMFORT FOODS Chowder is a Seattle staple year-round, but it’s especially soothing this season.

Pike Place Chowder's market location (1530 Post Alley, pikeplacechowder.com) offers more than half-a-dozen styles—if it’s too hard to choose just one, opt for a flight of four chowders. Craving carbs? Indulge your sweet tooth with decadent molten chocolate cakes and booze-infused hot cocoas at Hot Cakes (Capitol Hill and Ballard locations, getyourhotcakes.com). Or make an evening of it at Ristorante Machiavelli (1215 Pine St., ristorantemachiavelli.com), an oldschool Italian place on Capitol Hill that's been a favorite date-night spot since 1988.

5. GATHER FOR A GAME Who says game nights have to mean being cooped up at home? Game cafés are a great way to get the comfort of a night in while staving off cabin fever. Two of the friendliest are Mox Boarding House (Ballard and Bellevue locations, moxboardinghouse.com) and The Raygun Lounge (501 E Pine St., gammaraygamestore.com). Both offer communal tables, beer and food, and large selections of card, board and roleplaying games in lively, all-ages settings.

6. STEP ABOARD It may seem counterintuitive, but many locals say their favorite rainy day activity is to hop on a ferry (wsdot.com/ferries). Taking in the beauty of the surrounding water and mountains through the expansive windows of the cozy cabin on the 35-minute route to or from Bainbridge Island is a quintessential Seattle experience—especially if

you treat yourself to something from the galley. Warm up your insides with yummy local provisions like Café Vita coffee, Ivar’s chowder and Beecher's mac and cheese.

7. SIP BACK AND RELAX These drizzly days are why coffee culture thrives in Seattle—and there’s more to the city than Starbucks. Though the megachain’s original location in Pike Place Market will always attract long lines and make for a fab photo op, several nearby independent cafés offer more relaxing atmospheres. Try Storyville Coffee (94 Pike St., Ste. 34, storyville.com), upstairs in the Corner Market for fireside sofas you can sink into, a great view of the market’s iconic neon sign, hand-rolled soft pretzels, and of course, great local roasts.

8. OPEN UP TO ART Seattle’s world-class art museums are perfect for whiling away an afternoon. After wandering through the current exhibits, take time to unwind and reflect in a quiet spot, like the Wyckoff Porcelain Room at Seattle Art Museum (1300 First Ave., seattleartmuseum.org). Sitting at the center of the tiny gallery with soothingly dim lighting surrounded by orderly rows of delicate is a perfect way to find a moment of Zen before stepping back out into the brisk and bustling city.

WHE RE I N OV E M B E R 2017

Triple Coconut Cream Pie, Cuoco Charlie and I both love Tom Douglas restaurants, and always order the delicious coconut cream pie when we dine at Cuoco. Another of my personal faves is the wonderful, huge chocolatechip cookie at World Pizza—they warm it up for you.

Charlie's also a big fan of the coconut homemade ice cream and

ginger mousse at Tamarind Tree.

Cindy and Charlie Martin, owners, Seattle Pinball Museum Cookies, DeLaurenti I’m a cookie monster, and these are the best I’ve had.

I swear they use a stick of butter for every cookie, and they weight out at a pound per, but for those dessert debauchery days DeLaurenti has

my fix. Cupcake Royale’s Salted Caramel is exceptional too, along with anything else they produce.

Jason Pecarich, owner, Division Road menswear Molten Lava Cake with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Hot Cakes Nothing beats the combo of warm chocolate cake with cool, creamy ice cream!

Also, the space

is homey and the packaging is great.

Natalia BinerWittke, owner, Sell Your Sole Pistachio-Cassis Cake, Bakery Nouveau I'll take fruity desserts over chocolate any day.

The tart blackcurrant mousse and crunchy nut base of this delicate cake are the stuff of my dreams.
